This entire entry is mis-named
The Value of Statistical Life is an economic concept and body of research. Given that the entry is referring to VSL, it should be renamed to reflect that. The Value of Statistical Life does not purport to be "the value of life." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:985:300:2050:95E5:6332:8C2:3A9C (talk) 14:32, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

+1, this makes sense to me as well. 99% of this article is about VSL, VPF, etc. And I just removed the 1% that (incorrectly and without citation) talked about how legal systems necessarily place an infinite value on life. Quohx (talk) 00:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I came here to second this as well. This article name is possibly taking the place of the philosophical value of life. A page that would likely exist if it weren't for this name. I.Elgamal (talk) 10:26, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Changes by Ayushbhoir0008
I can not comment on the contents of the changes by User:Ayushbhoir0008 made in December. But the form is very bad: Abbrevations lost their sense, a reference is just plain text "[1]", and links were removed. How to proceed? Faulenzius Seltenda (talk) 13:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
